ThinkPhone (bronco): Waydroid media stutter fix

I am testing Droidian 102 on a ThinkPhone XT2309-3 (bronco) with an Android
14 RETUS base. YouTube audio and video in Waydroid were badly choppy, while
native Droidian playback was smooth.

The fix required:

  • running audiosystem-passthrough with the AudioFlinger backend (-t af);
  • using the 48 kHz sink.deep_buffer output instead of
    sink.primary_output.

Playback is now smooth and the fix survives reboot. I also added a small guard
that restores sink.deep_buffer if a Waydroid or Phosh crash resets it, without
overriding Bluetooth. I can provide the systemd override, PulseAudio settings,
guard script, installer, and rollback script.

Should this be submitted to adaptation-droidian-bronco as an issue or pull
request? Also, what is the preferred place and process for reporting future
device bugs without putting them in the wrong tracker? Thank you!
